Another nitpicky thing: why was Luke alive? If he wanted to die, honestly, why didn’t he just kill himself? Like, really, it took him a long while to decide that he should do something worthwhile.
“I came here to die” well just jump from the cliff buddy you’ll be dead in 5 sec!! It would have been the easiest way for the Jedi to end and etc. (and this is actually a very serious matter)

That question has been on my mind as well, but I was surprised to see no one bring it up until now. He came there to die… and yet he’s busy trying to… survive? Definitely lost on me.

I think this is a good example of why I think it probably would have been best to have Lucas overseeing the new trilogy while others wrote and directed them. Kind of like with the OT. Because Lucas could oversee the new trilogy to hopefully keep there from being huge gaping plot holes. With Disney, they have several people involved with overseeing the direction instead of there being one person in charge to keep everyone going in the same direction.

I don’t remember people discussing huge plot holes with the OT. It all seemed to fit together pretty good.
